Abstract: This thesis provides a detailed microscopic understanding of the impurity scattering of topologically protected electrons, which are studied within the example of strong threedimensional topological insulators (Tls) and type-II Weyl semimetals. The immense research interest in the recent past in topological materials is to a large extend due to the fact that their unconventional electronic surface states are robust against perturbations, such as surface structural relaxations or defects. One of the most intringuing physical properties of topological surface states in Tls is the forbidden backscattering off time-reversal invariant defects, which makes Tl materials very promising candidates for future low-power electronics or quantum information technology.
